FL Studio 9.9 Set To Expire April 15th – FL Studio 10 April 16th?

The latest version of the FL Studio 9.9 Public Beta is set to expire on April 15th which leads me to believe that FL Studio 10 or as we here at SampleSimple like to call it FLX, should be released no later than the 16th!

However, it is also possible that another FL9.9 Public Beta or Update version will be released as in FL Studio 9.9.1 or FL Studio 9.9 Update 1 depending on the development turn-around at Image-Line.

Hopefully, the next WhatsNew will have pages full of new Fixes and Additions/Features.
